The Problem

QR codes are everywhere — loyalty programs, gym check-ins, transit passes, event tickets. On a phone that’s usually fine. But when your hands are full, or you’re at the gym, or it’s raining, digging out your phone to scan a code is friction you don’t need. If you’re already wearing a smartwatch, the answer should be on your wrist.

What It Does

dashCODE is a two-part system: a minimal phone app where you manage your codes, and a Wear OS app where you use them.

• Add QR codes on your phone — name them, paste the content, done.
• Tap Sync and the full list pushes to your watch over the Wearable Data Layer.
• On the watch, a scrollable list shows all your codes by name.
• Tap any code: it fills the screen and keeps the display on until you dismiss it.
• No internet required at scan time — codes live locally in a Room database on the watch.

Status

Available on Google Play (internal track). Both watch and phone apps are functional and deployed. Ongoing work focuses on edit/delete flows and improved sync reliability.
